Discover the story of the song > Nothing but the Truth – Procol Harum

The protagonist is reflecting on past events where he and his partner had a dream that turned into a nightmare. They are filled with sadness and bitterness, and find it difficult to find excuses or lies to cover up the truth. They compare their experience to the Greek myth of Icarus, where they flew too close to the sun and were caught in a terrible situation. They were condemned to a never-ending sleep, filled with darkness, sadness, and emptiness.
